IRONING-TABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 237,791, dated February 15, 1881.

v Application filed May 1,1880. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIZABETH WEYL, a citizen of the United States, resident at Vallonia, in the county of Crawford, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Ironing-Table, ot' which the following is a speciiication.

My invention relates to improvement-s in tables and boards for ironing clothes, and is a breakfast-table and ironing-board combined. I attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l represents an end view with the top of the table down in the form of a common fall-leaf table.77 Fig. 2 represents an end view' of lthe table with the top and leaf turned back, showing the ironing-board A A. Fig. 3 represents a top view of my table, showing the table-top K and the fall-leaf turned back, with the ironing-board A in place for use. Fig. 4 represents a vertical sectional view of my improvement on an enlarged scale, showing the manner of attaching the removable hinged guard.

The ironing-board A is hun g at the wide end by a hinge to the frame of the table, so that itV can be lifted up and inserted into the garment to be ironed. K, the top of the table,ishinged to the frame of the table and to the leaf H, so

that it can be turned back, as shown in the drawings. (See Figs. 3 and 2.)

G G represent the hinged removable guard, which serves to keep the under side of the garment being ironed from contact with the iioor. To the inside frame of the table (best seen in Fig. 4) are arranged eyes or staples a, which receive the hooks or bolts b of the guard G G, whereby it may be readily attached or detached to or from the table, as occasion Fmay require. This guard G G is hinged at G; but any known and suitable fastening may be used in lieu ot' the fastenings a b, s0 that the guard may be easily removable.

O is a receptacle in the end of the table, to hold a cloth on which the iron is to be wiped, and also an iron-stand.77 M M M M represent the table-legs.

The boards'G can be unhooked from the table-frame and removed, if desired.

I claiml In combination with an ordinaryleaf-table, having its top Khinged at k, t'heironing-board A and the hinged guard G G, attached tothe inside of the table-frame and made removable, as and for the purpose described.

ELIZABETH WEYL.
